For years, Tamron Hall hosted the Sister Wives season-ending reunions. She was always a calm, relatable host. I found her very likable, and she wasn’t afraid to dig into the uncomfortable issues, much to Kody Brown’s dismay.
But then one season, Tamron just disappeared without explanation, and Sukanya Krishnan took her place. Many fans wondered what happened to Tamron. Additionally, some viewers were disappointed Suki didn’t ask the tough questions Tamron did.
On an April 17 appearance on the Tamron Hall show, Kody’s first and now ex-wife, Meri Brown, spilled the beans about why Tamron left was fired from the Sister Wives reunions.
Kody Brown banned Tamron Hall from hosting Sister Wives Tell Alls
“Sister Wives launched in 2010,” Tamron said. “America [was] gripped by the polygamous lifestyle of Kody Brown, his three wives (Meri, Janelle Brown, Christine Brown) and their then-twelve children … Kody took a fourth wife [Robyn Brown], children were adopted and born.”
“Fans … know that I used to host their reunion Tell-All for four seasons,” Tamron continued.
“We also witnessed the family fall apart,” she added. “Christine left the family in 2021 … Janelle followed in 2022. The premiere for the season, when the family matriarch Meri … decided to leave him after 32 years, brought their highest ratings in a decade.”
After hosting her final Sister Wives Tell-All, Tamron said, “[I] was told not to come back.” Apparently, “some people thought that the questions were too tough that I was asking.” It certainly wasn’t the fans, since overall we appreciated her attempts to get to the bottom of things.
The controversy arose when Tamron questioned Kody divorcing Meri so he could legally marry Robyn and adopt her children from a previous marriage. Tamron said it felt like legally marrying Robyn “legitimize[d] one wife” over the other three. Kody and Robyn were offended, and Tamron was subsequently fired.
Surprisingly, when Meri walked out onto the stage, both she and Tamron burst into tears of happiness. Meri admitted, “I never had any issues with you.”
Sister Wives returns to TLC on April 20.
